This is the same version that was already up, only with the chords in about the right place.

Intro.
C F C G C F 

C                              F
Well if I found god anywhere, it would be by the tracks
C                         F                 G
Face down in a box car, forty in both hands
C                           F
And when I find god there, we’ll just sit and roll some top
C                           F               G            Am             
Cause he’ll be just as confused as anyone else on this rock

C                        F
I took two tabs of acid yesterday afternoon
C                       F                            G
And I woke up this morning with a torn pair of shoes
C                        F                           
And found I’d ruined my life and everyone else’s too
C                        F                  G          Am
I guess this is what my teachers warned me drugs would do


G                   C
But they forgot to mention the way
G                   C
That the morphine makes the pain go away
G(once)                            Am (once)        C(once)
And how I’ll always remember the good times in my spine
F                              G
And the holes I burned in my brain with this next line


Intro again
C F C G C F

C                         F
If I found satan anywhere it would be by the tracks
C                      F                          G
Trading souls of kids like me for cheap bags of smack
C                        F                   
When I find satan there you know I won’t be thinking twice
C                        F                        G               Am
Cause at least in hell there’s rock ‘n roll and ain’t no jesus christ

C                        F
And I swear I left my sanity someplace in this mess
C                        F                       G
Crumpled between empty beers and packs of cigarettes
C                        F                     
Kick my last hope to pieces and just hope for the best
C                        F                  G            Am
I guess this is why my friends warned me against hopelessness

G                         C
But they’re the one’s getting laid
G                          C
And I’m the one waking up lonely every single day
G(once)                      Am(once)          C(once)
And I’ll remember that as I listen to their crap
F                             C
And tell them to fuck off, then hug them after that

Intro again.
C F C G C F

C                             F
Well if I found god anywhere it would be by the tracks
C                            F                  G
Huffin whippits down as he watches the trains pass
C                            F                   
When I find god there I’ll watch him pass out throwing up
C                            F                   C                        Am
Cause he’s cried himself to sleep every night since the one that he made us
